"Your Royal Highness, you should be clear. Relations between the United States of America and Germany are also very tense. It can even be said that the outbreak of war is only one step away. So, I think there is cooperation between the United States of America and Austria-Hungary. After all, we have a common enemy. Brian said.

Crown Prince Karl nodded: "Yes, Your Excellency Secretary of State. Germany is our common enemy, and as long as Germany continues to exist, or even becomes stronger and stronger, it will not do us the slightest. ”

The Americans offered to cooperate with Austria-Hungary, and Crown Prince Karl was naturally 10,000 willing. At the same time, he is also considering what kind of requirements should be made to the Americans if he wants to cooperate with them. After all, Americans are notoriously wealthy.

"Your Highness, if Austria-Hungary wishes, we can form an alliance with other countries that wish to oppose Germany and form an anti-German alliance. In this way, we can unite and work together against Germany. With the union of many countries, the possibility of defeating Germany is undoubtedly very high! Brian said.

"The anti-German alliance? Is it the same as the anti-French alliance a hundred years ago? That's a good idea. Which countries are willing to participate? Crown Prince Karl asked.

Crown Prince Karl also believed that dealing with Germany was definitely not something that any one country could do. We have to work together. In this way, it is possible to succeed.

"Your Royal Highness, in addition to the United States of America and the British Empire, there are also island states. If Austria-Hungary could join in, we would be even stronger. The possibility of defeating Germany will also be greater. Brian said. He undoubtedly very much hoped that Austria-Hungary would join in.

"The United States is the second great power in the world after Germany, and although the British Empire has lost its homeland and is about to lose most of its colonies, the heritage still exists. Although the island nation has just been defeated by Germany, it is no less a powerful country. Together, these powers were enough to confront Germany. Austria-Hungary was also willing to join it. However, it should be clear to you that I am the crown prince of Austria-Hungary. But such a major event is obviously not something that I can decide alone. And, I'm almost certain that the retainers of the empire will be against it. Crown Prince Karl said helplessly.

Brian nodded: "Your Royal Highness, I can understand. After all, the Ao Huang is still alive. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was still in the hands of the Austrian Emperor. However, I believe that it will not be long before His Highness will be able to ascend the throne. ”

Crown Prince Karl didn't say much, he was naturally looking forward to being able to ascend the throne as soon as possible. However, the precondition is that the Austrian Emperor Franz? Joseph I died. Looking forward to the death of the emperor of his own country, I am afraid that this is not good.

"Your Royal Highness, if you ascend the throne and become emperor, Austria-Hungary should be able to join the anti-German alliance, right?" Brian asked.

Crown Prince Karl showed a hint of embarrassment on his face: "Austria-Hungary is close to Germany, and if we join the anti-German alliance, we will inevitably be attacked by them with all our might." It will even detonate the war. In that case, it will be quite bad for us! ”

In the end, Crown Prince Karl still didn't have the courage to really tear his face with Germany. He knew that Germany's military strength was too strong, and it was impossible for Austria-Hungary to resist the German attack. Therefore, if you openly tear your face with Germany, it is no different from looking for death.

"Your Highness, if Germany really dares to use force against Austria-Hungary, the other countries of the anti-German alliance will definitely support you. We will not only attack Germany elsewhere, but also send reinforcements to Austria-Hungary. With the strength of Austria-Hungary, there is certainly a certain gap compared with Germany. However, it should not be too much of a problem to resist for a while. By that time, our reinforcements had already entered Austria-Hungary. With the strength of the anti-German alliance, there was no problem at all in defeating Germany! Brian said.

Crown Prince Karl was not a fool, and he knew that if they did go to war with Germany, I was afraid that these countries would indeed declare war on Germany. However, the place where they attacked would definitely not be Germany itself, but those German colonies. They coveted the German colonies. When the time comes, Austria-Hungary will drag down the main force of Germany, but they will pick up the cheap behind, won't that make Austria-Hungary the most wronged? Austria-Hungary would not have done such a thing.

Moreover, if the war was fought on the territory of Austria-Hungary, Austria-Hungary would pay a heavy price for it. Crown Prince Karl is not so stupid and is willing to watch his country being smashed to the ground.

"Your Excellency, Austria-Hungary is still too weak relative to Germany. If our military strength can be further strengthened, it will have the strength to fight Germany! Crown Prince Karl said.

Brian is not a fool, he knows that Crown Prince Karl is going to take the opportunity to put forward conditions. This was what he expected. If Crown Prince Karl didn't mention the conditions, it would have made him feel strange. Because that's just so unreasonable.

"Your Royal Highness, if there is anything that the United States of America can help with, just ask. For its allies, the United States of America has always done its best to help! Brian said.

"Your Excellency, I'll be blunt. Given that Germany's military power is too strong, we need a loan to develop our military power! Crown Prince Karl said.

Brian breathed a sigh of relief that Crown Prince Karl would ask for a loan, which did not surprise him.

Although, in this war, Austria-Hungary also gained a lot of benefits. From the Italians, a war reparations were obtained. However, because of the suppression of Germany, that loan was not enough to cover the losses of Austria-Hungary in the war, let alone to use the war reparations to develop military power. Not to mention, the Balkans and Italian colonies in East Africa, which Austria-Hungary gained in this war, have always faced endless resistance from the locals, which has made Austria-Hungary invest great energy. In addition, the contradictions in the Austro-Hungarian Empire are becoming more and more acute, and these require money. This already made the Austro-Hungarian Empire's finances beyond its means, let alone developing its military strength. Without external support, the military power of Austria-Hungary would only grow weaker.
